It is possible the axle is not correct. Measure the diameter of the axle spline area to make sure it is the same. Also measure the spline size and gap as well as the total length of the axle part that goes into the wheel hub. If they are the same then by some alltread and install it the way I described above.
the post I linked you to is for replacing the bearings. Not the axle.
Her is the axle post.
